HAROLD JAVIER

Hi, my name is Harold Javier. I am an independent (freelance) Microsoft .NET developer,
trainer, consultant, and resource speaker from the Philippines.

My primary work day consists of writing source codes, designing .NET applications,
reviewing peer's codes, blogging, consulting, teaching, mentoring, and training
IT students and professionals, and giving talks and seminars to schools and colleges.
I also maintain a blog called "dotNet From Manila", where I share my experiences and solutions
to some common problems we experience as Microsoft .NET developer. I live in Las
Piñas City, Philippines with my lovely wife, Lany, together with our pretty
and smart daughter, Helen.

Microsoft .NET Developer

As Microsoft .NET developer, I had a privilege to develop several web applications
such as a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, a Logistics Management
System (LMS), an intranet monitoring system for a BPO (Business Process Outsourcing)
company, an online sales inventory for an international beauty products distributor,
an intranet accounting system for a cooperative, an online review portal for a nursing
review center, and several websites for online classified ads and real estate.

Microsoft .NET Trainer

I have more than a decade of combined teaching and training experiences in the field
of Information Technology (IT) and Mathematics. I used to teach at some top-notch
IT and engineering schools in the Philippines like Mapua Institute of Technology
(MIT) and AMA Computer. I gave trainings & seminars in some leading colleges such
as Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP), Mapua School of IT, DFCAIT
Training Institute, several AMA Colleges, and Guagua National Colleges in Pampanga.

For the majority of my software and web development career, I have worked for myself.
I founded a company called MITXpress Solutions in 2007. At first, my company
was involved in developing web applications using ASP.NET, C#, and VB.NET for numerous
small to medium-sized businesses.

In 2008, my business became a legal entity involved in the retail business selling
various computer-related products and networking devices.

In 2009, I went bankrupt and decided to shutdown the retail business operation and
decided to go back to one of my passion: teaching.

From 2010 to 2011, while holding a position as trainer in a government-owned IT
school, I accepted a couple of .NET projects as sideline for additional income.

In 2012, I got a contract to develop a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software
for a BPO company in Quezon City, Philippines. I assembled a team of .NET developers
and led them in developing the CRM that we called SMARTCRM literally from scratch.

In 2013, just 2 months since we launched the software, the said BPO company became
an accredited software development partner of Bayan Telecommunications, Inc. (BayanTel).

In 2014, I got another contract to develop a Logistics Management System (LMS) software,
that we called JuanLogistics,
for an International Freight & Cargo services company in Pasay City, Philippines.
My team developed the LMS, a .NET-based intranet application from the ground up.

Today, I am looking for an opportunity to help another organization, company, or
individual in developing a software either for business or for personal purposes.
If you need my software development services or you are in-need of my expertise,
I can be reached at 0915 636 8736.

Volunteer

I was one of the pioneers of the UNV-Cisco ICT Program in the Philippines (sponsored
by Cisco Systems, Inc.). My mission was to promote the value of ICT in our country
through the use of ICT Learning Program and to collaborate with other agencies in
eliminating issues of gender equality in IT. This great experience helped me to
truly understand how to fill the gap between the industry requirements and the academia
in terms of relevant training. And it made me realize how much both our students
and professionals need proper trainings from someone with valuable experiences from
both the academe and the real world.

Soon-To-Be Microsoft MVP

I believe there's nothing wrong for dreaming big. Being a soon-to-be gives
me more energy to become a better contributor in the field of Information Technology
and in our community.
